2012 was a year of going beyond my expectations. I had the opportunity to collaborate with many of my favorite artists and some of my best friends. I returned to the sacred island of Kauai, the healing hot springs of Ojai, and my homeland of Miami. Here are some favorite moments from an incredible year.
Photographs taken by me, Shae Detar, Amanda Charchian, Neil Krug, Carmen Hawk, Alexandra Valenti and Todd Weaver.

Guy Blakeslee/Third Eye Memories created a new blog full of inspiring handmade collages and music which are also for sale!
"There's no beginning and no end, and everything in between is one and the same. All is one, and that must be our way of looking at the world, for it is simply so. The space-time continuum holds the potential for infinite dimensions and, as in a hologram or holograph, everything is everywhere all at once. Our perception and its conditioning, either by external forces or by our own choice or will, largely determine the nature of our own individual, moment to moment realities. All of these stories are streams from the same river, all of these lives and legends spun from the same original strands, scattered by the same explosive blast of becoming, ever evolving in cycles and circles that reflect and balance each other. Dreams are as real as waking life. It's all an illusion. What you think about is what you experience and in this, you have a choice. -Third Eye Memories."

A few months back Alexandra Valenti & I took a trip to some California natural hot springs. We covered our faces in the sulfur rich mud. She surprised me with this beautiful hand painted portrait yesterday! Below are also some of Alexandra's latest from her Wild Horses series.

I've recently become a crazed obsessed fan of Ken Price. I love his futuristic desert dwelling exploding volcano creatures and trailer park naked ladies. LACMA currently has retrospective on his sculptures up until January 6th.

⦑⦑⦙⦒⦒ Portals ⦑⦑⦙⦒⦒
Carly of All For The Mountain curated an art show called "Portals" that will take place this Saturday. The group of artists come from diverse backgrounds but share an interest in this emerging shift of consciousness. Experiential highlights include: Organic raw food by my husband Stephen McCarty, organic cold pressed juice by Moon Juice, musical ascension by Dionysus and New Age Pussy. There will also be spontaneously created poetry by Jacqueline Suskin. Hope you can make it!
